Anyone with experience cutting out a toxic family member let alone the entire family?

Reaching a breaking point here....

I didn’t talk to my dad for over a year when I got fed up with him talking shit and being an asshole. I had absolutely no problem cutting his negativity outta my life and would have continued to not speak to him or allow him to see my children, but he apologized for everything he ever did wrong towards me for my entire life. He has genuinely changed, its fucking crazy. He was such a raging piece of shit and now he’s a completely different person. I guess he realized finally that his horrible actions had very serious consequences and that the things he did effected/will effect me for my entire life.

Yeah the issue here is it seems like it will have to be the whole immediate family (2 siblings/2 parents). Maybe when I have a moment I'll vent and share all but it is the worst it has ever been right now. I'm worried my dad and/or brother are going to kill themselves and my mom is on the verge of leaving him with my sister for an apartment. I don't even live home but I just can't imagine when I'll go there again for a weekend to be a part of that negativity.

I’ve been to a lot of concerts and have seen most of the artists that I wanted to see. I’m so glad I got to see Rush live.

I saw them twice and I wish I'd seen them more. They were fantastic live.

I really hope Geddy and Alex at least try to record something again. There was a rumor a few days ago I think that they would be touring with Portnoy this year, but it was shut down pretty fast (though under the circumstances it would have been in poor taste to discuss it with what we now know about Neil's health/how close to death we was).

I haven’t spoken to my dad since I was 17. I’m not the best at cutting people out in general, but I do believe family is no more immune than friends or romantic relationships. If someone is toxic to you, they’re toxic period. It will be hard but distancing yourself for your own mental health is never a bad thing.

So I’ve got a bunch of SJWs irked online over the Tessa Blanchard racial slur story because I said that just because she might have said that word that doesn’t make her a KKK member, it could just have been very poor judgement given whatever context it occurred in

I mean, she's not necessarily a member of the KKK, but she's most definitely a hateful, self centered cunt.
